Long Bay is Todd Property Group’s premier asset. Drawing on an unparalleled urban location with outstanding views and a close proximity to the waterfront and the Long Bay Regional Park. When completed the Long Bay community will be one of Auckland’s finest places to live.
Long Bay is only 25mins from downtown Auckland. The Long Bay Community will be located on 160ha of premier land and will accommodate approximately 2000 dwellings and up to 5000 people.
Todd Property Group will be developing the Long Bay Community over the next decade, and first homes are planned for sale in the Awaruku area, in 2013 to 2014.
Preliminary earthworks begin
Todd Property Group intends to begin preliminary earthworks on site beginning the week starting 15 February 2010. These works are subject to final North Shore City Council and Auckland Regional Council consent.
The preliminary works will conclude in April 2010. Todd Property Group intend to begin our full Earthworks programme in October 2010.
The preliminary works are to provide essential stormwater infrastructure for both the proposed new development and the existing Long Bay region. Below is a plan showing the construction area and some of the proposed features of the new Awaruku wetland area.
The preliminary earthworks will involve the construction of an off-stream storm water wetland to treat the storm water runoff from a 226 hectare residential catchment, the catchment is made up of 205 hectares of existing residential catchment from the Torbay Heights and Awaruku areas and 21 hectares of proposed residential catchment from the Long Bay development.
The works will involve the excavation of a series of bays to provide for storm water storage capacity, the excavated material will be placed on site. The wetland and the banks of the Awaruku Stream will be fully landscaped with appropriate species on completion of the works.
When completed wetland will greatly improve the water quality of the Awaruku Stream which discharges directly into the sea at Long Bay.
The wetland design and construction is being undertaken in partnership between North Shore City Council and Todd Property Group.
The preliminary earthworks will also form an embankment which will support the future extension of Beach Road across the Awaruku Flats and will also begin to stabilise the Awaruku Slopes.
"I believe at Long Bay we have a considerable responsibilty to make the most of the oppotunity it presents - not just for residents, but for the whole of Auckland. We are creating an environment that will see Long Bay recognised as the highest quality living environment in New Zealand." Stephen Martin, Senior Development Manager.
